What is slime?

[himalaya62 221]

Help!! I'm 18 days post op and when I eat too fast I feel like I want to vomit however if I try I just cough up a wad of clear thick slime. What the heck is this? I remember someone writing something about sliming a few weeks back but I didn't question it. Is this normal? Has anyone else coughed up slime? Sorry it's so gross!

totally normal. your stomach has not figured out yet that it does not have to make so much extra Fluid. it will get better in the coming months. just hang in there. it sure is gross though.

Omg! That's good to hear. I kinda freaked out about it but since it was clear I knew there was no infection, just so weird. Thank you! Gives me the heebee jeebies! Yuk!!!

I'm almost 6 weeks out and still slime when I over eat...especially anything remotely dense.

Not to alarm you all but I'm 5 1/2 months out and still see slime. I totally laughed when I read your entry. My pouch still does not like certain foods. My mind tells me I can eat them and my pouch shows me it will not tolerate it today, try tomorrow. chicken for instance baked or boil or steamed can be eaten only on certain days, per my pouch. And it better be moist. I learned to listen. Or visit the toilet and call Earls. 86 pounds down and going forward. Remember this was our choice. It is a life changer. I'm just now adjusting good luck? oh and follow the 30/30 rule. No food 30 minutes before you eat and wait 30 minutes after you eat before you drink. God that was a hard one.
